<li><span class="bold">HSL OptiConnect:</span> On models supporting the High Speed

Link, there is no additional hardware required other than standard HSL or
|
||
|
|
HSL-2 cables to connect the system into the HSL Loop.
|

|
|
<p>For information on
|
||
|
|
HSL cabling, see the HSL cabling information under the "Plan for hardware
|
||
|
|
and software" topic in the iSeries™ Information Center. Additional information
|
||
|
|
about HSL cabling can also be found on the <a href="http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/ha/" target="_blank">High Availability and Clusters Web Site</a> (www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/ha).

|
|
there is no additional hardware required since the connectivity between logical
|

partitions is internal to the server. The hardware communication option HSL
|
||
|
|
OptiConnect must be activated for each LPAR using the HSL OptiConnect function.

each LPAR using the virtual OptiConnect function.</li>
